Re: disabling ssh server on n900

There is the following package in Ubuntu/Debian for this :-
upstart-compat-sysv - compatibility for System-V-like init


I suspect the idea is to move away from sys-v and just use upstart...

Re: Openvpn on n900 not connecting

You'll need to run openvpn as root; presumably why openvpn didn't work the first time without the PATH as /usr/sbin is probably not in user's PATH.

/etc/init.d/sshd start
/etc/init.d/sshd stop

Re: n900, email and openvpn - sweet

Well if there is no active connection then I assume openvpn will fail after pinging for a little while (ping/ping-exit options), then sleep for ping-restart seconds (defaults to 120) before...

Re: disabling ssh server on n900

It seems sshd is started by upstart so removing the rc2.d link won't work. I know little about upstart but sshd is started from /etc/event.d/sshd so it might be possible to change the exec line to a...

Re: More testers needed to push apps out of extras-testing

I assumed -devel is for "release early, release often" for those comfortable with having to flash their N900s if, or more likely when, these go wrong. Once the developer is satisfied that his package...

It would be useful if this page allowed some sort of sorting or filtering or at least displaying all packages in testing so one could use ones browser's search to look for packages.
